Problem/activity:
You’re mixing ingredients for cookies. The recipe says to combine 6 tablespoons, or ¾ stick, of butter with 1 cup of sugar. You accidentally mix in a whole stick of butter (8 tablespoons) with the cup of sugar. How can you fix this?


Topic options: 
A. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
B. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
C. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
D. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
E. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
F. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
G. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
H. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
K. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.


Thought: This problem asks students to reason about ratios of butter amounts to sugar amounts.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to reintroduce students to Put Together, Total Unknown story problems. In this type of problem, there is no action, so students must recognize the addends must be joined to make up the total. Students were introduced to this type of story problem in kindergarten and solved within 10 using objects or drawings. Students also solved Put Together, Total Unknown problems in Unit 1 in the context of data.
Students begin the activity by looking at the problem displayed, rather than in their books. The three reads routine gives students an opportunity to make sense of the problem before looking for a solution. Because there is no action in a put together problem, students identify the important quantities and think about how they might represent them before they solve the problem (MP1). At the end of the launch, students open their books and work on the problem. Students solve in any way they choose including using objects, drawings, words, or numbers, and write an equation to match the story problem.
This activity uses
MLR6 Three Reads.
Advances: reading, listening, representing.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
10-frames

Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to 10-frames and connecting cubes or two-color counters.
Activity
MLR6 Three Reads
Display only the problem stem, without revealing the question(s).
“We are going to read this problem 3 times.”
1st Read: “Kiran has some fish in his fish tank. He has 4 red fish and 5 blue fish.”
“What is this story about?”
1 minute: partner discussion
Listen for and clarify any questions about the context.
2nd Read: “Kiran has some fish in his fish tank. He has 4 red fish and 5 blue fish.”
“What are all the things we can count in this story?” (the number of red fish, the number of blue fish, the total number of fish)
30 seconds: quiet think time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Share and record all quantities.
Reveal the question(s).
3rd Read: Read the entire problem, including question(s) aloud.
“What are different ways we can solve this problem?” (I can use red and blue connecting cubes. I can draw the fish and count them.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
"Solve the problem."
3 minutes: independent work time
“Share your thinking with your partner.”
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who solve in the following ways and can explain their thinking clearly:
objects or drawings and count all
objects or drawings and count on
numbers and count on
Student Facing
Kiran has some fish in his fish tank.
